"...difficile est saturam non scribere. Nam quis iniquae
tam patiens urbis, tam ferreus, ut teneat se..."
"...it is hard not to write Satire. For who is so tolerant of the unjust City, so steeled, that he can restrain himself... Juvenal, The Satires (1.30-32)

Cookies and what to do with them

I
don’t know how you look at it, but I think it shows just how hopelessly square and
out of touch I am with today’s modern postindustrial society that in this era
of do as you please and let it all hang out my idea of sensual excess is a large
chocolate chip cookie with organic walnuts. I usually spit the walnuts out; I don’t care
for walnuts, organic or not; but I spit them out with a certain devil may care
attitude that belies my dull bourgeois appearance and gives a tantalizing look
at the dull bourgeois soul that undergirds this dull bourgeois appearance.
